Ahmed Lawan tells Nigerians unhappy with Electoral Act Amendment Bill to contact their representatives

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has stated that the National Assembly is striving to pass the Electoral Act Amendment Bill within the next two weeks.

Lawan made these remarks on Monday in Abuja at the inauguration of Mr Abimbola Yusuf as Chief Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) and 37 other Commissioners from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He also asked Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the key elements in the pending amendment to convey their concerns to their representatives for consideration before the law is passed.

In his own words;

The national assembly is embarking on the amendment of the Electoral Act probably by next week or within the next two weeks.

It is very important that those who feel very strongly about any amendment that they think should be effected in the Electoral Act should contact or talk to their members of House of Representatives as well as distinguished Senators.

I want to state categorically clear here that presiding officers are not the ones to determine what is coming or what is not.

So it is very important that in the same fashion, in the same way, the Public Complaints Commission is utilised properly by the general public,
